Louisiana - the Southern Belle of the USA, with her sunny good looks, sweet drawl and darlin' personality - will steal anyones heart, she sure stole mine. Between the bald cypress swamps, the old plantation houses and the elegant towns, it's a state with a lot to offer. But Louisiana loses 30 miles a year off ...

Street Art in Getsemaní – Cartagena’s Hottest, Hippest ‘Hood
The once seedy neighbourhood of Getsemaní in Cartagena is now an artists palette of colours. Prostitutes, gangs and drugs have been replaced with trendy bars, boutique hostels and live music on the streets. Unlike the old walled city which is filled with tourists and touristy shops, Getsemaní draws both tourists and locals. If you take a walk ...
Joe Cannon: 82 Years of Cowboy
A cowboy walks through the kitchen door at Cold Creek Ranch, ducking slightly, out of habit maybe, as he sure is tall. His walk is slightly bowed, perhaps from years of riding or perhaps from worn out heels on his boots, but he stands straight. His grey hair gives no clue of its former colour ...
Only in the USA: 21 All-American Experiences I Have Crossed off my List
There are certain things in the UK (and around the world) that we stereotypically associate as 'American'. But the United States is an absolutely huge country, so what may be commonplace and typical in one area, say the West, certainly wouldn't be in Manhattan or Chicago! Nonetheless there are so many things I've always wanted ...
Straight Outta Aiken: Where Horses Learn to Fly & Champions Never Die
Aiken - a name that is steeped in rich racing history and glory for those who live and breathe the sport of kings, and yet will often draw a blank for those who know little of the racing world. But I can guarantee that racing aficionados and novices alike will fall in love with Aiken when they ...

Alcampeando por el desierto Sobre un caballo sin nombre Negro. Indio. Apache Donde esta tu apachita? La dejo Soñando en falsas promesas. Un palomito vuela al cielo, Israel Alma del hijo no nacido, Ninguna esperanza de la tierra prometida. En el desierto hay un arbol Con una sola manzana El lo desea. Lo come, Y se va Dejando el arbol yerma. Encuentra un caballo Palomino Tumbado en la arena. Levanta la cabeza Sube Palomino! Pero el caballo no ...
Cold Creek Ranch
Between Black Jack and Rustler Creeks, in the shadow of the prickly pear mesa lies the prettiest ranch I ever did see - Cold Creek Ranch. The Ranch House The outside of this huge ranch home doesn't betray the treasures within, and I literally mean treasures as the house is crammed full of pieces from all over ...
Guns N’ Horses: Learning to Shoot in the Wild West
Back home, America and Americans are often caricatured to be gun totin' rednecks who live and die by the second amendment (their right to bear arms). A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. I have always been taught that ...
Silver City, New Mexico – Land of Enchantment
It just so happens that the closest vet to Cold Creek Ranch is located in Silver City and so when Smoky the Arabian and Butter the Mustang needed a check up, we loaded them up in the trailer and set off from Arizona across the border to The Land of Enchantment, as New Mexico is ...
Cooking with Joe
At 82 years old, there are few things that Joe Cannon hasn't mastered. All the typical cowboy tricks of course, how to ride a horse, how to move cattle, how to lasso a coyote, how to survive on biscuits and canned plums for a week in the snow when you're only 8 years old and ...
